​Coach Ruben Amorim has announced a 26-man squad for the opening phase of Milan’s pre-season in Milanello, welcoming the recent acquisition of Mario Gila while giving several young players and those returning from loans an opportunity to prove themselves. The Rossoneri will convene at the Milanello training complex on Monday, July 13, marking the start of work under the new manager.
Gila steps straight into the action following his move from Lazio, while Goncalo Ramos remains on holiday after Portugal’s World Cup campaign. Amorim has indicated that his immediate priority is to assess the current squad before deciding on further summer signings or departures.
Among those returning from loan spells who will be keen to impress are Samuel Chukwueze, Francesco Camarda, and Yunus Musah. The academy talents and fringe players will also have a chance to stake their claims, with several youngsters expected to push for a place in the senior set-up. Notable young contenders include 18-year-old winger Aurelien Guernier, newly arrived from Birmingham City, and striker Andrej Kostic, who will be hoping to demonstrate his potential.
Christian Comotto has recently risen to prominence after Italy’s involvement in the European Under-19 Championship, adding to the intrigue surrounding Milan’s forward options. Kevin Zeroli is not part of the squad, having finished the season with Juve Stabia in the Serie B promotion play-offs; however, his future with the Rossoneri remains uncertain.
The official squad list features a broad mix of established players and emerging talents. The options include Bouyer, Pittarella, P. Terracciano, Torriani; Athekame, Bartesaghi, Gabbia, Gila, Karaca, Odogu, Pavlovic, F. Terracciano, Tomori; A. Cisse, Comotto, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Musah, Ricci; Camarda, Chukwueze, Guernier, Idrissi, Kostic, Nkunku, Ossola. This comprehensive roster will allow Amorim to evaluate the depth and versatility at his disposal as Milan plot their trajectory for the upcoming campaign.
